GLEN BURNIE, Md. (AP) — Federal immigration agents shot at a moving vehicle on Wednesday morning during an enforcement and removal action, striking one person and injuring another, local officials said. A spokesperson for the Anne Arundel County Police Department reported that neither individual suffered life-threatening injuries and both were taken to the hospital. The police responded to the shooting report involving federal agents at around 10:50 a.m. Officials confirmed that only Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents were involved in the incident. Preliminary reports suggest that the agents approached a white van, which attempted to run them over, prompting them to fire at the van. The vehicle accelerated but eventually came to a stop in a wooded area, according to police. The identities of the injured parties have not been disclosed. Anne Arundel police are conducting a separate investigation into the shooting, while the FBI is looking into the alleged assault on the agents and ICE is carrying out its own internal inquiry.}
